Are there treaments for HIV

Answer 1

Currently, there is no cure for HIV/AIDS. However, there are medications persons infected with the virus can take to prolong their life and improve their health.

Once a person has been diagnosed with HIV, their health care provider will conduct a medical assessment to determine if/when they may start treatment.

Treatment involves the taking of medications, typically several at a time, in order to fight the virus and promote the health of the immune system. There are several types of medications available. All of these medications carry their share of side effects and must be monitored for effectiveness and resistance.

Unfortunately, many of the people who progress to AIDS do so because the medications they have been taking no longer work as effectively, if at all.

Health care providers will then reconfigure the combination of medications they are taking. However, once a person becomes resistant to all of the available types of medications available, the immune system deteriorates and ultimately the person will lose their fight with the disease.
